Calls to pte_offset_map() in vm_insert_pages() are erroneously not matched with a call to pte_unmap(). This would cause problems on architectures where that is not a no-op. This patch does away with the non-traditional locking in the existing code, and instead uses pte_offset_map_lock/unlock() as usual, incrementing PTE as necessary. The PTE pointer is kept within bounds since we clamp it with PTRS_PER_PTE.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
